Established in 1972, Pepperdine's Center for Sustainability acts as a conduit for supporting and advancing sustainable business through communication, implementation, and education. We know that reaching the Triple Bottom Line requires industry leaders to inspire the future of sustainability in business by acting today, not tomorrow. Through our commitments to service, purpose, and leadership, we are steadily moving towards creating a more viable, socially responsible world for all. As a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), we are committed to developing business leaders dedicated to inclusive capitalism that promotes the globally recognized sustainable development goals.
A sustainable business is an enterprise committed to creating a minimal negative impact, or ideally a positive effect, on the global or local environment, community, society, or economy. It is a business that strives to meet the Triple Bottom LinePeople, Planet, and Profits and generate value for a multitude of stakeholders.

Corporate citizenship and sustainability have become much more than trendsthey are essential components of how industries operate today and are critical for the future of societies worldwide. Pressure from governments, NGOs, consumers, employees, and increasingly investors are mounting on business leaders to mitigate their negative environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts and contribute meaningfully towards recognized global sustainable development. Forward-thinking organizations increasingly need leaders who understand the complexities of sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and ethicsand how these tie into innovation, agility, and market-leading solutions that will benefit more than just the bottom line.
